no one and nothing can break through

[Well! That sure did happen!

Bruno does not organize an afterparty. He's not a party organizer in general - that was Wu. But he knows he was completely useless, if not downright actively unhelpful, during that whole thing, and he already feels guilty enough. He has to be useful somehow. Otherwise, why's he even here? 

So, before everyone can leave the teleportation circle in the dining room and all go their own separate ways, Bruno mumbles something about making food and takes off for the kitchen. He'll be there for a couple of hours, whipping up some quick chicken sancocho, with Olive on rice duty. Azul can be in charge of actually grabbing people and bringing them in - god forbid Bruno do anything like that - but if anyone does happen to be there to take one, he'll make them up a bowl. Otherwise, he's just gonna leave it all warming on the stove. 

There's also some arroz con leche simmering for later, if anybody wants dessert! He'll put cinnamon in it, and then add some hot chocolate to the lineup as well. He's no Julieta, of course, but at least he's made something? It's not enough, but it's...something.]

Hmm... leaving the blood until our investigation is done. That's a thought... But why? Why is it important that we get a fair shake at solving the mystery? These rituals are quite confusing. But, ah... no. I wasn't planning on returning to the library until it was time for me to retire for the evening.

Magic has many rules that don't seem to make sense at first glance. Perhaps whatever they're planning demands proper 'justice' be served or what not. [He waves a dismissive hand in the air. Rituals are so tedious he rarely had the patience for them.]

The state of the library can wait till morning. I doubt most of us would be able to parse anything from it in our states.

Justice... The blood of a murderer, found guilty by his peers... [He's talking aloud to himself, considering.] What sort of spell could the Alchemist possibly be brewing...? Perhaps something to fix a grave injustice in the past? But... if he has time magic, could he not just fix it himself? [he sighs] These matters are far above my pay-grade, I'm afraid.

[cuttingremark]

Perhaps. Or it's just part of the 'fun' for them. [He hasn't forgotten the possibility that their imprisonment could all be a sick form of entertainment.]

[cakerights]

I would rather it be some sort of complex ritual. The idea that this man is doing all of this just for entertainment... Such cruelty is unfathomable!
